My general malaise for Halloween, I think, stems from the fact that I’m a loser and never had friends/a girlfriend to actually do anything with.
(Actually, that’s a lie: I did once go to a Halloween party dressed as Mario and Luigi with my best friend Nathan, but we ended up getting into a fight in what looked like a scene from Super Smash Bros.)
From the outside looking in, though, it seems like Halloween these days is less about horror – vampires, witches, ghosts etc. – and more about hilarity and pop culture.
That does bring with it some positives though; couples are increasingly thinking outside the box to come up with some truly epic double costumes.
Have a look through these beauties…
